This is a pretty bad performance by Sephy so far, but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt with Tifa here.

4 people scored 2 points and survived. Airan_Jo, ZenithianLegend, Woopow and Demon_HunterX had something vaguely similar to Auron > Sonic as yesterday's winners.

Ooof... I had Sonic > Magus. I think Sonic wins had that damn Bag not rallied its way into the second round, oh well.

Fortunately I've got Sephiroth > Kratos today, and Link > Zack tomorrow, so I feel pretty confident I won't fall off the top 50, not yet at least.

Sephiroth lost himself in the moment... took some of his blue bar back from Tifa... and... and... and thrust it upon Kratos this time... I thought better of you.

Oh, and I still like my Sephiroth > Sonic pick next round, despite Auron hammering Sonic from pillar to post yesterday. I'm *hoping* that the SFF is too potent for Auron to compete in a match that includes Sephiroth. Sandbag going away may help Sonic a little too.

I have Link > Kefka tomorrow... hopefully most of the people that high up have a bad D1 too, otherwise I may be falling from the board. Actually no... I think I'm guaranteed at least 50th place so long as Link finishes first.

No way... Kratos is hurt by Seph/Auron more than Sonic is in that match. Seph > Auron or Seph > Sonic are the only options I see as viable next round. Seph > Kratos would be crazy.

Especially considering Tifa's not dead yet! Sephiroth has more blue bar to provide. As we can see, Kratos couldn't handle it, Seph had to withdraw most of it in one update.

I dunno. When Zack put up 30% on Link despite another new Square character in the poll, I stopped giving Duke and Altair any realistic chance.

Zack has only done well so far imo due to apathy from his competitors. When nobody cares about the other characters, why not vote for the Cloud look alike? I don't see that changing tomorrow. He's toast once he faces X and Mario though

If Sonic fails to advance next round past Auron when SEPHIROTH is in the match and his only other opponent is a Kratos,it will be the most embarassing result from anyone in any contest ever.

Zack is an absolute lock for tomorrow, people. Bring on Link/Mario/X/Zack.

but don't forget that Link had another Nintendo character in the poll as well.

And that Zack couldn't break 60 on Wario in R1.

It's not as over and done as you think . . . but I think I'm screwed.

I do think Duke could break 60% on Wario.

But I just don't see him holding up as well as Zack did against Link. Duke only got like 15% against Sonic, Sub-Zero, and Gordon last year.

I'm just saying I won't buy Zack has any significant strength till he faces someone of note to see how he does against them. I think its a given he's below Tifa and Vincent in the FF7 heiarchy, though.

Jill is doing worse against Seph+Tifa than against Cloud+Zolom last year? so where's this RE boost huh? and what happened with ocelot?

so if we are to assume that there have been a general MGS4 boost and RE boost this year, it's pretty clear that VALENTINE got her some FFVII votes last round and now she's SFF'd heavily tbqh

In this world you've got to be strong,
You got to fight to keep your spirit alive.
And you might feel like there is nothing left to go forward and fight for.
But it's the fight that keeps us ready and on guard.
Even I can feel the power
When I think of him I see no fear
I feel no pain.
Forever he will be my hero
(Better believe he knows the way)
And not just only for tonight
And now that I'm not just a dreamer
(And I know I've got what he's got)
And not just only for tonight

Hey guys - quick question.

Can we start giving Kratos respect now? I know it's hard to fathom from a lot of people that pegged DK as being stronger than him last year, but let's try.
